About Carpolestes Simpsoni
Carpolestes simpsoni is an extinct species of Plesiadapiformes, which is one of the earliest primate-like mammals appearing in the fossil record during the late Paleocene. C. simpsoni had grasping digits but no forward-facing eyes. Weighing about 100 grams, C. simpsoni appeared adapted for an arboreal habitat.
